Buy this from Bookshop.org to support local bookstores and the Lesbrary! Every year, I intend to read a bunch of queer holiday romances in December, but I don’t usually follow through with it.

Kelleen Reviews Three Novellas to Marathon This Summer
Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant I read Caroline’s Heart by Austin Chant for the first time this month and it blew my mind. It’s a queer trans historical western fantasy novella and it’s just so GOOD. I don’t read a lot of fantasy and I don’t read a lot of westerns, but I love aRead More
